Well. Very old counting systems used in the UK go up to 20, but do seem to be closer to base 5 than base 10. The one local to me goes.
Yan, Taen, Tedderte, Medderte, Pimp, Haata, Slaata, Lowra, Dowra, Dick, Yan-a-Dick, Taen-a-Dick, Tedder-a-Dick, Medder-a-Dick, Mimph, Yan-a-Mimph, Taen-a-Mimph, Tedder-a-Mimph, Medder-a-Mimph, Gigget.
It is still (rarely) used for counting sheep. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Try literally translating French numbers if you want a laugh.
93 = Quatrevingt treize = fourtwenty thirteen
We put maths in your numbers so you can do maths while you do maths. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
